Sayed Mohammad Reza Kordestani (Persian: سید محمدرضا کردستانی; December 11, 1893 – July 3, 1924) was an Iranian political writer and poet who used the pen name Mirzadeh Eshghi (Persian: میرزاده عشقی).
He was born in Hamadan, the son of Hajj Sayed Abolghasam Kordestani; he learned French in the Ecole d'Alliance, and moved to Istanbul for a while. He is particularly famous for writing the opera Rastakhiz Iran (Resurrected Iran), which was a reflection of his patriotic spirit.
After returning to Iran and spending time with his family in Tehran, he published newspapers in which he fiercely attacked the political system of Iran. He is remembered for writing six plays; his Noruz nameh is particularly famous. He also published a paper called Twentieth Century and predicted his early death repeatedly.[1]
Eshghi was murdered by two unknown gunmen in his house in Tehran.[2][3] He was buried in Ibn Babawayh Cemetery in Shahr-e Ray, near Tehran.[4]
